War Service / Ordnance lapel badges

[alastaircox]

I recently purchased a collection of War Service/Munitions Workers lapel badges. I could not identify these three: Left C&N, maker Fenwick Birmingham. Centre E Anslow & Sons, I cannot find any info at all on Anslow. Right, looks to be WW2 period, W.O.F. (xxx Ordnance Factory) maker Fattorini.

Any thoughts would be welcomed.

There was an Ordnance Factory located at Wrexham in the Great War, could this be the W.O.F. badge I wonder.

It is my understanding that the CN badge is for Camper & Nicholson’s. It could very well be WW2. I have put a link below to Graces Guide which gives full details of the company.

The Anslow badge is almost certainly WW1 and a very nice badge it is too!

Thank you, I don't think I would have found Camper & Nicholson. Yes the Anslow badge is a belter; I think they were a Scottish company but I cannot find much about them.
